4. Holt Geometry
10-7 Volume of Pyramids and Cones
The volume of a pyramid is related to the volume of a
prism with the same base and height. The
relationship can be verified by dividing a cube into
three congruent square pyramids, as shown.
5. Holt Geometry
10-7 Volume of Pyramids and Cones
The square pyramids are congruent, so they have the
same volume. The volume of each pyramid is one
third the volume of the cube.

An art gallery is a 6-story square pyramid with
base area acre (1 acre = 4840 yd2
, 1 story ≈
10 ft). Estimate the volume in cubic yards and
cubic feet.
Example 2: Architecture Application
First find the volume in cubic yards.
Volume of a pyramid
The base is a square with an area of about 2420 yd2
.
The base edge length is . The height is
about 6(10) = 60 ft or about 20 yd.
13. Holt Geometry

Example 2 Continued
Substitute 2420 for B and 20 for h.
≈ 16,133 yd3
≈ 16,100 yd3
Volume of a pyramid
Then convert your answer to find the volume in cubic
feet. The volume of one cubic yard is (3 ft)(3 ft)(3 ft)
= 27 ft3
. Use the conversion factor to find the
volume in cubic feet.

Example 3B: Finding Volumes of Cones
Find the volume of a cone with base
circumference 25π in. and a height 2 in. more
than twice the radius.
Step 1 Use the circumference to find the radius.
Step 2 Use the radius to find the height.
h = 2(12.5) + 2 = 27 in. The height is 2 in. more
than twice the radius.
2πr = 25π Substitute 25π for the circumference.
